A VERY SAD DAY FOR THE LUPIES

[Guest guest]

This

is the hardest things I have had to announce to the board. I can’t

believe this myself, but I need to ask everyone to keep our dear and her family in your thoughts

and prayers.

This

morning our dear passed away. I can’t even

think of any words to describe how sad I am, all I can do is cry and ask “Why

, Why?”

This

is the email in which I received the news, as did whom called me.

Lets

all remember , our dear friend, and family member…

This

world will not be the same without here, and omg I am at just a lost for words.

Hugs,

Deanna

Some

poems that wished to share with you all:

Do Not Weep

Please, do not weep for me,

for I have finally made it home.

My homecoming was a joyful one,

even though the road was long.

I was met by friends and family,

passed over before my time,

and guided into the place of love

I had found in my dreamtime.

Everything here is beautiful,

so clean, so fresh and new;

I wish that you could close your

eyes

and that you could see it too.

Please try not to be sad for me

for now I dwell in a land so fair;

try to understand the beauty

of being in the Creator’s

care.

I have followed the path full

circle

from birth, through life, and

demise

and now I have been reborn again

and can live wearing any disguise.

So next time you see bright

confetti

flying high in the bright blue

sky,

you will know it is I just

visiting

dressed as a delicate butterfly.

Touching Death

In

all of our tomorrows, a ribbon of hope survives.

We will be here for our loved ones,

as long as one memory of our lives remain.

Death is only the beginning.

Death

... dying .. a natural crossing over

from this side of the veil to the other.

A stepping over into the heaven you’ve made

of pleasant sights and no more fears.

Death

has touched all of us at one time or another

taking a loved one before you were through loving them,

taking someone you didn’t personally know,

but who had made a great difference in your life.

Death

has touched all of us at one time or another

early in the morning, late into the night

we hear Death has come for someone

and our heart goes out to them and their families.

Death

is not a stopping point

it is not an end .. it is just the continuance

of a circle of life that will persevere

until time itself disappears.

Death

is only the beginning.

Dealing with Death:

Dealing with death is a process we all must endure at some time in our life.

When we receive the notice of the death of a loved one, the words crush our

hearts and take our breath away.

One

message cannot stand on its own as memories and thoughts rush through our minds

in a flurry of emotion. If the person was extremely close to us, we may even

feel anger at the person for leaving us alone to face the world.

In

all walks of life, people have devised ways to help them cope with the

inevitability and finality of death. In all lifestyles, talking is the best way

to open your heart and allow the grief to subside.

Talking

releases the emotions; it clears space in your heart and mind for a touch of

joy to enter your life.

I

believe when we have learned all the lessons we were sent to Earth to learn, we

are allowed to shed our physical body and return in spirit. Our body

imprisons our soul the way a cocoon encloses the future butterfly.

At

the time of our physical death, we will be free of pain, free of fears and free

of worries. We will be as a beautiful butterfly returning home to God.

The

most important thing for you to remember during this time is you are never

alone.

There

are people who can help you cope with your grief as deal with it you

must. For life goes on and you will continue to grow and to sing, to love

and to dance, even after your loved one has parted.

We

cannot avoid the pain death brings into our life, but we can choose to not

allow the pain to overwhelm us to the point of a lifeless non-existence.

Dealing

with grief is something none of us want to endure. Some people say dealing with

grief is a waste of time .. I dont. The tears will come and they are a good

thing. They are a natural reaction to an unpleasant situation.

So just let them come. It is a good cleansing procedure, both mentally and

physically.

Tears are nothing to be ashamed of .. just remember ..

" Grief

is the proof we have loved and lived.

Tears wash the heart and cleanse it of grief ..

allowing all the love you possess to shine forth! "
